How it sells itself

ExpiryGuard tracks expiration dates at the batch level — each delivery gets its own quantity and best-before date. FIFO auto-rotation ensures oldest stock ships first. Our dashboard shows total inventory "Value at Risk" and flags upcoming expiries before they become a problem. Expired products can be hidden from your storefront in one click. No complex WMS or batch codes required — just add a date and save.

Shopify tracks what you sell, not what you lose. Record shrinkage, theft, damage, short deliveries and returns, or run a guided cycle count and post the variance as costed losses. See your shrink rate against stock and the retail benchmark. A count-due list says which SKUs to count next. A vendor scorecard shows what suppliers owe you, with a claim CSV.

Key points
  • Track expiry dates instantly by scanning barcodes. No complex batch codes.
  • Visualize inventory health and "Value @ Risk" on a clear traffic-light dashboard
  • Identify spoiled stock and hide it from your storefront with a single click.
  • Record losses by reason — shrinkage, theft, damage, expiry, samples, custom
  • Cycle count by location — shortfalls post as costed losses automatically
  • Every unit valued at cost of goods — see your loss in real dollars
  • Write-off reports by reason, location & vendor + QuickBooks/Xero CSV

Where does this comparison’s data come from?

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
